DES MOINES — The Iowa Print Sports Writers Association (IPSWA) announced the 2022 boys basketball all-state teams on Tuesday. The teams were selected by print sports writers in Iowa during a meeting on Saturday, March 12.
Finishing his high school career Friday with a triple-double to lead Ames to a Class 4A state title, sports writers and coaches voted Tamin Lipsey as Mr. Basketball. The Iowa State Cyclones signee adds the honor to a resume that includes a 2019 gold medal in the FIBA Americas U16 Championship.
The 6-foot-2 senior averaged 15.7 points per game, shot 56.7% from the field, and 72.5% from the charity stripe this season for the Ames Little Cyclones. He broke the school’s record for career assists with 339.
